Strange Safari message....HELP

My Ibook G3 is giving me a message i've never seen before:
Safari can't open the page "(whatever page)". The error was "POSIX error" cannot allocate memory" (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:12) Please shoose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari Menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw the message.
I've never seen this message before, and i know i have enough memory because i ran other apps (itunes, word2005, etc) without problem. Also, i was able to run other internet-using apps, such as aim and limewire, without problem. what's wrong???

Welcome to Apple Discussions
I've seen this too, but not too often. This is a problem between how a Web Site function is coded and how Safari's interprets the command. One example - when I attach a file to an e-mail out of my Yahoo account, the POSIX error appears when I complete the attachment process. Do the same thing in Firefox and the file is successfully attached. I guess Yahoo likes Firefox more than Safari?
I've reported this error to Apple. You might want to do the same next time you get a POSIX error. Simply go to the Safari menu and select "Report Bugs to Apple". The URL is automatically filled in. All you need due is add an explanation of the problem.

Can you post a copy of the crash report?
Go to your Applications Folder and open your Utilities Folder. Open the application Console.
In the left-hand column, click on Crash Reporter.
Click on the small triangle under Crash Reporter in the l/h column and they will all be listed.
Scroll down to the latest Safari report and click on it.
Now click on the r/h column (which now only shows THAT crash report and then Command-a to copy it all.
Come back here and Command-v it to post it here!

Strange error message when I tried to use the "collaborate" function under "File"

Has anyone else met this before? : I am trying to share my project with my team members. Tried File -> Collaborate and then try three options under it. Non e of them works. It asks for your Adobe ID in order to sign in and upload. However, every time I typed in my Adobe ID and password, it gave me strange error messages. The first time it says: User has not verified email address yet. I have been using this Adobe ID since 2008 or 2009 and of course I have verified my email address. But to make sure, I went back to my email box and search for emails about Adobe ID verification but I didn't find any (I never delete emails such as this).
Then I tried to register a new Adobe ID. This time when I tried to singn in with the new Adobe ID, it will either say "Network may not be available" (which is not true because I am able to surf on the Internet at the same time), or it says "User has not accepted user condition/agreement".
I feel so frustrated because I feel this is definitely not my mistake which caused the failure of log in.
Hope someone can tell me what the reason is and how to fix it though.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Lilybiri,
Thanks for your quick response. I followed your suggestion and verified my Adobe ID on acrobat.com.
Now I can enter the collaborate function. However, everytime when I tried to send it to myself (for test purpose) I got another error message "You need to enter a valid emaill address". I saw someone else on this forum has met the same problem. Do you have any suggestion on what is the possible reason for this to happen?
Again, thanks for the fast response. You have been helping me and other ppl so much.

Hi..

Please do not start duplicate topics. It makes it that much harder to assist you.

Why does the Safari message "This is a non-secure form" pop up everytime I try to use yahoo mail?

Why does the Safari message "This is a non-secure form" pop everytime I go into yahoo mail? If I don't press the send option my whole computer freezes.

From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Application message help could not be called Message in SABAPDOCU888

Hi,
After the application of the Support Package 21 in the DEV, help is not functioning correctly, for example, in top of word WRITE (in a publisher ABAP), I pressure F1, opens help correctly, from there pressed in Output you the a list and I go until the end of the one in the point of Additional help. In that pressed Creating Lists, returns me the Application message help could not be called (Message in. SABAPDOCU888).
What I must make?

I had the same problem when I installed Firefox 3, but I think the problem is due to my recent hard drive upgrade. Try changing the download location from "Desktop" in Microsoft Internet Explorer and all other browsers (Safari, Firefox, etc.) to whatever default location you prefer. I never use Internet Explorer, but I think somehow my settings were corrupted when I upgraded my hard drive. I found this solution on another site also.

ITunes won't launch and I get a strange error message-

My iTunes will not launch and I get this strange error message: The iTunes application could not be opened. The disk could not be read from or written to. But I have no problems with the disk it is on, which is my harddisk. Help, help, help…

I have now tried a billion things: None of them work. I still get the same error message, when I try to launch iTunes after logging into my user profile. However, I can launch iTunes 6.0.1 if I create another userprofile on my computer and log into that. But that isn't very helpful. I have also tried removing iTunes 6.0.1 and installing iTunes 4.7 instead. I can actually launch that. However, I cannot connect to the iTunes music store using iTunes 4.7 nor can I play any of the music purchased from the iTunes music store. What am I to do, except curse Apple for creating a version of iTunes that many people seem to have problems with?

Capture problem -- strange error messages -- computer freezes

Upon 25 minutes or so into capturing, I get a strange error message to this effect: "analyzing DV audio -- validating audio data" -- the video slows to a crawl until it completely freezes -- rainbow wheel whirls nonstop -- sometimes command-option-escape force quits it, sometimes not and I have to reboot the computer. Sometimes I don't get the error message -- the computer capture screen freezes but the camera keeps going. Anyway here are the specs: Intel dual-processor iMac 300 GB with Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.5., format Mac OS Extended journaled. External hard drives Western Digital 500 GB formatted the same; QT 7.5.5; FCE 4.0.1; Settings: DV NTSC 48 Khz. Format & use - DV NTSC. Device control preset: firewire NTSC. Camera - Canon 900 ZR (miniDV tapes) hooked up to back of iMac via 6 pin shiny orange firewire for capture. I capture to Mac hard drive and then move video to external hard drive. Yes there is enough space and RAM. I had this problem before except the error message was "locating time break." So it was suggested I capture to hard disk. Seems like it's always something! I've lost hours trying to fix this problem. Hope someone can help. Thanks.

12 bit. Haven't been having any audio problems with FCE. However, I tried the nightmare iDive and never got audio (much less anything else) to work with that. So I uninstalled it and asked for my money back.

Safari/facebook help

Hi
when ever i chat with a friend on facebook i get this pop up safari can't find internet plug-in. some content on the page facebook home can't be shown because its mime type is unspecified. does anyone know if there will be fixes to this any time soon?
i have safari 4.0.4 {531.31.10}
thank you

Excellent news, Kevin. Glad to have finally been of help with something for you!
i just wonder why that it has to be uncheck for it to work ok with out know mime types message.
Taken literally, the message is saying that Safari doesn't know what application to use to play the pop-up sound. Unfortunately, sometimes the literal meanings of error messages on a PC don't match up well with what is actually causing them.
If you've got time, you could send a bug report to Apple about the issue. If you bring up your Menu bar in Safari, go "Help > Report Bugs to Apple" to send a bug report. If you do it while you're at Facebook and getting the error message, you can also send a screenshot of the page (with the error message on it), and can also attach the source code of the page to the bug report.

It would appear that your system is somewhat mangled, and it is time for some general 'servicing'.
Start here:
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.

An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:

By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

Strange Login Message

After the latest update to office and safari, I have been getting a strange login message. It's a drop-down box that says:
To view this page, you must log in to this area... and then states an area. The latest one says:
"To view this page, you must log in to this area on view.atdmt.com:80:
TIPS2 PROD Cache Layer
Your password will be sent encrypted."
Then there is a place to login, and has a box to save the information in my keychain. Anytime I try to put in any kind of login information, it tells me my password was incorrect. Safari also did this to me and right after the update. For a while it did this every time I went to facebook and it wouldn't let me log in. So I shut everything down and restarted and haven't had as much trouble with safari. I can't seem to find any way to get rid of this and it seems to happen randomly. I've seen other forums about this, but not for entourage which is where I am having the most trouble. Thanks in advance for your input!

This is what I did in Safari.
Click on Safari and select Preferences
Choose the Security option
Select Allow Plug-ins, then click on Manage Website Settings
Click on the Java item, select an option (Ask, Allow or Allow Always) from the pulldown list When visiting other websites
Click Done, then close the Safari Preferences window
And what if you do this, and these options are already selected...?

Strange error message - linked lists (again)

I have to keep at this linked list thing if I'm ever going to really understand it!!
I have created a method to create a linked list via user input. I'm receiving only one strange ERROR, which states:
"This method must return a result of of type ListADT.Node."
And I have just started building my class ListADT...
class ListADT{
public Node createList(int aNumber){ // THIS IS WHERE THE ERROR POINTS
 * integer variable aNumber is the length of the list user wishes to create.
 Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
 int number; // declare variable number as an integer.
 Node newNode = new Node(); // declare and initialize newNode.
 Node first = new Node(); // declare and initialize first.
 Node last = new Node(); // delcare and initizlize last.
 try
 for(int i = 0; i <= aNumber; i++){ // for loop to enter numbers to build list.
 System.out.println("Please enter an integer: "); // prompt user.
 number = console.nextInt(); // assign user input to variable number.
 newNode.info = number; // assign number to newNode;
 if(first == null){ // checks to see if Node first is a null value.
 first = newNode; // if true, then this node is the first and last node in the list.
 last = newNode;
 else{ // if first is not null, then newNode is placed at the end of the list.
 last.link = newNode;
 last = newNode;
 return first;
 catch (InputMismatchException imeRef) //Catches non-integer values
 System.out.println("You entered a non-Integer! " + imeRef.toString()); //Prints error message

Now why can't the error messages help
out a little more? I would have never guessed that
there was a problem with the catch block not
returning anything!!The message was pretty informative -- it told you what was wrong. If the compiler could be so smart as to be able to tell you exactly what to fix, then the compiler would be able to write code all by itself -- and then you'd be out of a job.
